“I have never talked about the transfer market and never thought about leaving,” Niang said.

“I’m a Milan player, I’m happy here and I will stay at Milan. I want to be an important part of this team.

“From the first day I got back, I have been speaking a lot with the coach. Now I know what I have to do if I am to become a champion.

“I am determined to listen to the coach. I must be good both on the field and off it. I realised the mistakes I’ve made and I must not repeat them.”

Niang, 21, who spent the second half of the 2014-15 season on loan at Genoa before returning to Milan last summer, scored five goals and supplied five assists in 16 Serie A matches last season, in which he missed large chunks through injury.
